Class ByteHeaps

java.lang.Object

it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.bytes.ByteHeaps

public final class ByteHeaps
extends Object

A class providing static methods and objects that do useful things with heaps.

The static methods of this class allow to treat arrays as 0-based heaps. They are used in the implementation of heap-based queues, but they may be also used directly.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static int	downHeap(byte[] heap, int size, int i, ByteComparator c)	Moves the given element down into the heap until it reaches the lowest possible position.
static void	makeHeap(byte[] heap, int size, ByteComparator c)	Makes an array into a heap.
static int	upHeap(byte[] heap, int size, int i, ByteComparator c)	Moves the given element up in the heap until it reaches the highest possible position.

Method Details

downHeap

public static int downHeap(byte[] heap,
 int size,
 int i,
 ByteComparator c)

Moves the given element down into the heap until it reaches the lowest possible position.

Parameters:

heap - the heap (starting at 0).

size - the number of elements in the heap.

i - the index of the element that must be moved down.

c - a type-specific comparator, or null for the natural order.

Returns:

the new position of the element of index i.

upHeap

public static int upHeap(byte[] heap,
 int size,
 int i,
 ByteComparator c)

Moves the given element up in the heap until it reaches the highest possible position.

Parameters:

heap - the heap (starting at 0).

size - the number of elements in the heap.

i - the index of the element that must be moved up.

c - a type-specific comparator, or null for the natural order.

Returns:

the new position of the element of index i.

makeHeap

public static void makeHeap(byte[] heap,
 int size,
 ByteComparator c)

Makes an array into a heap.

Parameters:

heap - the heap (starting at 0).

size - the number of elements in the heap.

c - a type-specific comparator, or null for the natural order.
